Hello all, having successfully installed Backuppc and backing up some of our machines, I tried to restore a directory /etc/vmware which was backed up using localhost.pl (system is Debian Etch 4.0).
1st) restore to local machine failed, since the "ssh to localhost" did give an key error: later, after some research I found out that there has to be a directory /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh with owner backuppc and a "known_hosts" file from /root/.ssh. Is there anything about that in any documentation/FAQ? 2nd) restore to remote machine with rsync succeeded, but there were no files - log message: Remote[2]: skipping non-regular file "vmnet6/dhcpd" I'm sure that the requested files _are_ regular files and no sockets or sth. like that, not even the directories have bin restored. Restoring files that were backed up from same system succeeded, getting only one file via browser is ok, too: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ file restore/dhcpd.conf restore/dhcpd.conf: ASCII English text Is where any way to find out what can be done here? Thanx in advance.
